Watamu is a charming village along Kenya’s coastline, and it is well known for its pristine white sand. As part of the Watamu National Marine Park, this is a great spot for scuba diving or snorkeling. The coral reefs are home to all types of colorful underwater life, and they also help to create breaks for surfing enthusiasts. When the tide goes out, you can walk out into the shallow water for miles. Even heading out for a few minutes can be a remarkable experience. Watamu boasts a number of excellent hotels and restaurants just steps from the sand, allowing you to spend the whole day or even an overnight trip enjoying the environment.
